ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives

Social interactions involving personal disclosures are ubiquitous in social life and have important relational implications. A large body of research has documented positive outcomes from fruitful social interactions with amicable individuals, but less is known about how self-disclosing interactions with inimical interaction partners impacts individuals.

Design and Methods

Participants engaged in an immersive social interaction task with a confederate (thought to be another participant) trained to behave amicably (Fast Friends) or inimically (Fast Foes). Cardiovascular responses were measured during the interaction and behavioral displays coded. Participants also reported on their subjective experiences of the interaction.

Results

Participants assigned to interact in the Fast Foes condition reported more negative affect and threat appraisals, displayed more negative behaviors (i.e., agitation and anxiety), and exhibited physiological threat responses (and lower cardiac output in particular) compared to participants assigned to the Fast Friends condition.

Conclusions

The novel paradigm demonstrates differential stress and affective outcomes between positive and negative self-disclosure situations across multiple channels, providing a more nuanced understanding of the processes associated with disclosing information about the self in social contexts.

Fast Foes：在沉浸式负面社会环境中互动的生理和行为后果

摘要

背景和目标

涉及个人披露的社会互动在社会生活中无处不在，并具有重要的关系意义。大量研究记录了与友善的人进行富有成效的社交互动的积极成果，但对与敌意互动伙伴的自我披露互动如何影响个人知之甚少。

设计和方法

参与者与接受过友好行为（快的朋友）或敌意行为（快的敌人）训练的同伙（被认为是另一个参与者）进行沉浸式社交互动任务。在交互和行为显示编码期间测量心血管反应。参与者还报告了他们对互动的主观体验。

结果

与分配给 Fast Friends 的参与者相比，分配给 Fast Foes 条件的参与者报告了更多的负面影响和威胁评估，表现出更多的负面行为（即激动和焦虑），并表现出生理威胁反应（尤其是较低的心输出量）健康）状况。

结论

新范式展示了跨多个渠道的积极和消极自我披露情况之间的不同压力和情感结果，提供了对与在社会环境中披露自我信息相关的过程的更细致入微的理解。
